Equality and Diversity
All local government employees should ensure that policies relating to equality issues as agreed by the Council are complied with in addition to the requirements of the law. All members of the local community, customers and other employees have a right to be treated with fairness and equality.
The Council is committed to promoting equality of opportunity and to eliminate discrimination within its own employment practices and service delivery and therefore you must follow the Council’s Equality and Diversity Statement and other policies covering these matters.
As an employee you are entitled to expect equality of treatment with colleagues, managers and Councillors. If you feel that you have been unfairly treated or been discrimimated against you are perfectly entitled to make use of the appropriate Council procedures and seek advice from your Trade Union representative, if you are a member of a Trade Union.
